    About this ebook

    The alleged CIA use of X-Planes flown by mercenary pilots in deniable wars over SE Asia. A chance meeting with an aviation enthusiast shed light on this secret chapter of American military history. He insisted it was in a book and was true. Maybe if the story was true, it would have been like this. Join Bubba in the cockpits of his X-3 Experimental jets, now fighter planes, fighting enemy Migs. Who will live and who will die in this thrilling chapter of deniable air war?
